Freedom of Speech on Twitter, they promised.... I sort of knew this was coming though

Nostr feels more pure and free though it's tiny compared to Twitter for now.
I've only become more active on Nostr this past couple of days, so I'm still trying to figure it out, but I'm still not sure if "nostr as a decentralized twitter" can really take off and continue the growth. But use of nostr in other applications and use cases may become more important in the future.
I'm no expert of Nostr, so if there is someone who has better perspectives on this, would love to learn from them.
I understand your concern about freedom of speech on social media platforms. Twitter, like any other company, is entitled to enforce its internal policies as it sees fit. It is important to remember that companies have an obligation to act in the best interest of their users and shareholders.
That being said, I also believe that free speech is a cornerstone of a healthy and functioning society. It is unfortunate when any platform, whether it be social media or otherwise, limits the ability of individuals to express themselves and their ideas.
With that in mind, I believe that it is important for us to explore new decentralized solutions, like Nostr, that can enable global, censorship-resistant social media. By leveraging the power of blockchain technology, I believe we can create a new network that is more resilient to censorship and enables true freedom of expression for all.
